RE: Photo Story: Onboard the Concorde in Scotland
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the story. Have you checked out my Penguin Parade Story? Though I'm sure you are already familiar with the story, you might enjoy that one too :)
The success of this post has been extremely unexpected, I never thought it would do so well!
Did someone send it to something like Curie? I've been looking for a good post to do that with, and spent all day yesterday looking. All I came up with with was post after post of plagiarized stuff! It was so disheartening! Curie does not accept recommendations in the photography, Steemit, travel, cryptocurrency categories etc. so I was looking for new content 15 minutes old in other categories. Yours was in photography, so I guess it was not Curie! They pay $10 for the find and the author is rewarded with tons of comments and Upvotes.
I have read the Penguin story now! Too cute! I see you are past 50 in reputation, so the Curie recommendation would not work for you anyway! Keep up the quality writing, though. It is so refreshing. I love to read about Scotland, of course. I'll be home in 5 weeks time and can hardly wait!!
Actually another user @lucky.digger upvoted and resteemed it. looking at his account now I think Curie was involved too.. at any rate its all due to his benevolence. Anyway, I was on 42 rep, and after he did that I jumped to 51 rep..
I do know what you mean, i have been finding it very difficult to find original content. I have heard the same complaint from a few others as well. So many people just go looking for pictures online, post those (though they still cite the source) and then hope to profit. I never upvote those.
I'm glad you liked the penguin story. Its one of my favourite stories, and the penguins are so adorable.
Wow! That was a quick jump! Your category was Photography, so not sure if it would have been Curie. Your post is way beyond just photography though, so they may have overlooked the category. Job well done, anyway! You deserved it!
Thanks! :)
